Full Job Description

Description:

Bethany for Children & Families is searching for a resourceful and creative person to fill a brand new position as a Family Finding and Resource Specialist in our Illinois Foster Care program! If you are looking for an opportunity to make a difference every day in our community, this is the position for you!

The Family Finding and Resource Specialist works to locate and engage adult relatives and fictive kin for children entering the foster care system, establishing a lifelong safety net. This position will play a key role in helping youth in foster care connect with relatives, fictive kin, and other trusted adults who can offer stability and love.

The ideal candidate would have an investigative curiosity to find and engage family members, and the relational skills to build trust with youth and caregivers. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys the 'hunt' for information and has the resilience to turn a 'no' answer from a distant relative into a 'yes' answer for a child.
